This sampler was inspired from a quote by John Taylor, 1634 from the book; "Embroidery Motifs from Old Dutch Samplers", compiled by Albarta Meulenbelt-Nieuwburg.

Text: "The little bird don't choose to rest. Their little tongues at morning blest. Their words of thanks ne'er fail to rise. As soon as light comes to the skies. In forest tall on each green
tree; the bird sings in ecstacy."

This is a hymn verse Mennonites and Brethren sang in Pennsylvania which presents the act of praising God.

This is quoted from "The Gift is small, the Love is Great" by Frederick S. Weiser.
